The Minister of Steel, Shri Beni Prasad Verma has said that Steel is a de-regulated sector and Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) is purely an understanding between the concerned State Government and the respective steel investors. Ministry of Steel does not monitor the progress of MoUs. As per the available information in the Ministry of Steel, the details of MoUs signed by various State Governments during the last three years are given at Annexure-A.
In a written reply in the Lok Sabha today Shri Verma said, it is a fact that several companies could not start setting up plants as per their respective MoUs. Major factors limiting the progress of the steel projects in the country include non-availability of adequate land, raw material linkages, environmental clearances besides the effect of market downswings and opposition by the local people.
He said, although progress of each and every steel project is not monitored by the Ministry of Steel, some of the major steel projects where no noticeable progress has been made from date of signing of MoUs are as follows:
